    At 03:33:46 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 240606 ***A*** (trigger=1235109).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 12.125, -19.747 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 00h 48m 30s
       Dec(J2000) = -19d 44' 49"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~1390 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~6 sec after the trigger.
